India's 1983 World Cup Win Gets Kabir Khan's Vision

As we gear up to watch Sushant Singh Rajput hit the winning six and lift the 2011 World Cup trophy, here’s interesting news around the first time Indian Cricket Team unlocked the achievement…

Producers Madhu Mantena, Amurag Kashyap and Vikas Bahl are all set to recreate the unforgettable journey that led to India winning its first World Cup back in 1983; and it will be directed by none other than Kabir Khan!

One hears that the film will feature several A-list actors and will be mentored by Kapil Dev, Madan Lal, Mohinder Amarnath, Sunil Gavaskar, Kirti Azad, Krishmachari Srikkanth, Syed Kirmani, Yashpal Sharma and Balwinder Sandhu.

The film will go on-floors by the end of the year after Kabir wraps up his Salman Khan starrer ‘Tubelight’ and will be shot at various locations as the makers not just plan to show the cricket matches and the final with West Indies, but also aim at showcasing the roots of the heroes who helped India win the World Cup.
